| Primary Identifier | MGI:97276 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 17928 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and chromatin DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to estradiol stimulus; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of muscle adaptation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to lithium ion; cellular response to tumor necrosis factor; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and musculature. Orthologous to human MYOG (myogenin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit a severe reduction in muscle mass associated with delayed primary myogenesis and very little secondary myofiber formation, defects of the thoracic skeleton, and perinatal death.
